When the Garden Was Eden

When the Garden Was Eden

In the tradition of The Boys of Summer and The Bronx Is Burning, New York Times sports columnist Harvey Araton delivers a fascinating look at the 1970s New York Knicksâ€”part autobiography, part sports history, part epic, set against the tumultuous era when Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, and Bill Bradley reigned supreme in the world of basketball. Perfect for readers of Jeff Pearlmanâ€™s The Bad Guys Won!, Peter Richmondâ€™s Badasses, and Pat Williamsâ€™s Coach Wooden, Aratonâ€™s revealing story of the Knicksâ€™ heyday is far more than a review of one of basketballâ€™s greatest teamsâ€™ inspiring storyâ€”it is, at heart, a stirring recreation of a time and place when the NBA championships defined the national dream.
